FIMKO is one of the leading testing and certification companies in the electrical, machinery and gas sectors in Europe. FIMKO and our certificates and marks are globally well known and respected. Among these certificates are FIMKO's CB Test Certificates, which have an important role in FIMKO's business idea. Other important certificates are FI (recognition of 75 % by the consumers and a strong position in the Nordic and Baltic countries), Nordic NCS, ENEC, Keymark, HAR, CCA EMC, LOVAG and FIMKO EMC mark. FIMKO has been established in 1928 and has recently joined the SGS Group and it's global network.

FIMKO helps and supports manufacturers to manage quality of their products and operations as well as to enter global markets thus avoiding unnecessary delays. FIMKO's safety and EMC tests are recognized in dozens of countries in Europe, Australia, South America, North America, South Africa and Asia. Also FIMKO's quality system certificates such as ISO 9000, ISO 14 000, BS 8800 are globally respected.

The CB Scheme is an ideal tool for FIMKO's mission. We perform tests not only according to IEC standards but, based on the experience accumulated during decades, also include National Differences and carry out factory inspections for various product certifications.
FIMKO's activity in the CB Scheme and several other certification schemes is not limited to technical competence but we are also known for a very good level of service. FIMKO's customer satisfaction has for several years been very high. We have also taken care of several important tasks in the Schemes, for example in 1991-1999 the IECEE Secretariat, since 1971 the Secretariat of the Committee of Testing Laboratories and since April 1999 FIMKO became worldwide Handler and Distributor of Test Report Forms. On FIMKO's Website there are lists of available Test Report Forms and those that will be published. It also includes a lot of other interesting information for manufacturers, buyers and consumers. Especially the FI register including valid FI certification is very popular.
